[Closed] Small Favors

[lightingway]

Who: Taiki, Themis, Gazimon, and Elecmon
When: 12 April
Where: Access City’s Nursery
What: In which Taiki falls to pieces over tiny digimon and meets Themis for the first time, for the second time. Gazimon wonders why his partner’s so damn cagey around tall people.
Warnings/Notes: Almost certainly spoilers for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers and Endwalker, in particular the Pandaemonium storyline.


Unfortunately, the day that Taiki had chosen to volunteer for rendering aid at the Nursery was plagued by the sort of torrential rain that one could only expect in the throes of Spring. He didn’t actually mind this, as he, personally, enjoyed it- but his companion was unhappy.

”I just want to state for the record,” Gazimon growled, shivering even inside. The walk over had not been a dry one. ”My fur’s gonna stink to high heaven, and you’re gonna regret it. Why are we here? I thought you were some kinda big shot fighty adventurer-type.”

Taiki, for his part, had been over the moon since his arrival. No less than three infant digimon had decided he looked like prime climbing real estate, and he was nothing short of enraptured. Surely anything as adorable as the wanyamon in his arms had to be illegal. “I don’t know, Gazimon, I find I quite enjoy doing little things to help around the places I go to. Provided the timeframe isn’t urgent, there’s a sort of peace to be found in it, and it helps to… ground me. Remember what it is I’m fighting for, you know?” He paused, engaging in the incredibly important task of hefting a pokemon in his opposite arm, gently bumping his nose against the tiny furball’s, to their infinite delight. “Besides! Aren’t they precious, I’ve never seen anything half as fluffy-”

”You are a weird friggin' person, Taiki. Aren't we supposed to have two more people on this, anyway? Why do we gotta do everything ourselves?” Not that Taiki seemed to mind, to Gazimon's irritation.

There's a swish of robes as Themis ducks to enter the room. Fortunately there is room to fit his frame even if he has to remain ducked while standing. Much of Access City is certainly built to scale for digimon of a similar size but how many of those would generally not be assigned to a nursery duty. Because of this need, Elecmon isn't on her usual shoulder perch but instead on the floor, bounding into the room ahead of the Amaurotine.

"We're here! Sorry about being late." Annoyingly, both of them are bone dry. Themis's power might be suppressed but keeping the rain off (or a simple drying spell) is easy enough to accomplish!

Themis has gotten accustomed to looking down to find others, so he's soon to smile in Gazimon and Taiki's direction. "Good day. Taiki, wasn't it?" Clearly someone must have told him the name when he arrived. "And... Gazimon, is it?" The question asked is in the tone of someone who has read the digimon handbook.

"That's right! You've really been studying, haven't you?" Elecmon seems pleased. "This is Themis and I'm Elecmon! Oh!" The digimon looks at the small digimon in the nursery. Since Themis entered, many have been looking up and up at the giant Tamer with astonishment. "Don't be afraid! He's very gentle and caring!" she encourages.

Taiki and Gazimon are included in this reassurance. Meanwhile Themis is looking for a place to settle.
